Santa Clarita web design for the moment two homepages sit side by side.

Median household income here is $123,062 and the median home is worth $784,700, and we'd expect a careful reader at those numbers. Design for that reader means proof a person can check: real jobs, the name of who shows up, and a plain account of what you do. A home services firm can show a finished kitchen with a sentence on what went wrong halfway. A practice can say whether it's taking new patients.

We have no Santa Clarita sample, so none of these figures describe sites here. They come from 1,274 independent sites in our 31-city sample. The median page there weighs 3.08 MB, and 383 of 1228 stayed under 2 MB. 62% failed the contrast check on some text. 22% had some tap targets too small or too close. On 47%, a heading skipped a level. Check yours against that list, then check the rival you lose to most.

New sites run from $1,500 to $5,750 at a fixed price, up to 70 pages, and online stores begin at $2,500. If the bones are good, design fixes may do, with repairs from $149. We can build in Spanish. The Santa Clarita report has the rest. Send us your homepage and a rival's, and we'd tell you where yours loses.
